Gray Triggerfish
Balistes capriscus
Gray Triggerfish are an excellent eating fish. Many people
don't mess with cleaning them because of there tough
leather-like skin. There are techniques used to make
cleaning them fairly easy. Triggers have large horse-like
teeth in their small mouths and are not afraid to bite a person.
I had one latch on to my hand and we had to pry his mouth
open with needle nose pliers because he would not let go.
